Adopt a foreign club.

[Dougal]

Arsenal anyone? :wink:

Seriously, my foreign team has always been Marseille - ever since the glorious days of Papin and Tapie.

And Waddle and Pele!

And Boli? :think:

And Boli? :think:

Ohh yeah, forgot the Waddster! Although I didn't actually know Abedi Pele or Boli at the time...

St Pauli - you beat me to it Sally G.

I may be moving to Ohio soon which will mean Columbus Crew - they're doing pretty well this year but the crowds are pitiful.

Other than that, it's Falkirk and East Stirling in Scotland, Real Valladolid in Spain (dig those purple stripes) and Milan in Italy - the 4-0 European Cup Final is pretty much my favourite match as I have always hated Barca. I should love them because of their ownership, the city etc etc but these things are never rational.

How about teams you HATE abroad? I hate all French teams because their kits are terrible.

I'm from Malta so keep an eye open mainly for Malta's international matches where historically they've been thumped. I'm undecided if I'll go for a Maltese domestic team though as my favourite European Club team is Sporting Lisbon, then Bayern Leverkusen.

I'm up for this though if there's any legs in it. Maybe a report each week on a different club from someone who is following them.

Mido. :up:

 

[leffe186]

Are Hquabba Hyducks still going? Or did my subconscious make them up?

None. THFC through and through. End of story. None of this adopting a foreign team bollocks.

DC United (my US team)
B Dortmund (Always liked them)
Ajax (always liked them & their 70's legacy)
Rangers (cos I hate Celtic)
Tenerife (An ex gf was from Tenerife)
D Kiev (Ex wife was from Kiev and I watched them thump S Moscow)
Malmo (they had a successful & entertaining team in the early 80's)
Lazio (cos of Gazza although not so fond of them now)

I've always been a bit of a Real madrid fan as they're always on sky. I've followed them almost religiously this year and so they're my foreign team. Also my italian team is Juventus (because of Del Piero), French is Marseille, and don't ever, ever watch Portuguese or German leagues apart from the clips on goalissimo (sp?)

 

[Kendall]

I used to follow Inter, got a few shirts and that from when I was younger mainly due to the likes of Ronaldo, Vieri & Recoba but Italian football is fucking horrendous to watch these days & so I lost interest.

I've got enough to follow with Spurs, Northampton Town, Northampton Saints and the Celtics anyway :up:

 

[nldnboi]

My second team is Olympiakos (Greece). I watch a lot of their games and know quite a lot about them too.

 

[nidge]

I guess Spurs even though they are my first and most important footballing love could be classed as my foreign team as well. :grin:

 

[Blotto]

These days? Zenit. But I like to follow leagues as opposed to sides, that way I'm never disappointed by what's on.
